As a female solo traveler I had an incredible tour organized by Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travels. Bhutan has been the highlight of my Asia trip so far. I truly enjoyed the balance of learning about Bhutan culture, history and way of life, alongside, hiking extraordinary trails. My guide, Sonam, was amazing. I enjoyed learning about Bhutan through Sonam’s vast knowledge and in-depth story telling. I truly appreciated his encouragement and kindness as I wasn’t completely confident in my hiking abilities. His sense of humour helped me get through the hardest part of the hikes. I’m so grateful to have Sonam as a guide because he always goes above and beyond to either show me unique viewpoints or a great place/time to take the perfect photo. My driver, Tschering, was also amazing and I felt completely safe even though some of the roads in Bhutan looked harrowing (considering all the cliffs and hairpin turns). Tschering always offered a smooth ride and was always cheerful in greeting us at the end of each hike. I appreciated that both Sonam and Tschering would check in on me to ensure that I was having the best experience possible. I couldn’t have asked for better travel companions and guides!

This trip was absolutely Incredible! We did the 10 day essence tour with my brother and Bhutan acorn teams made it a seamless and wonderful experience. The preparation and planning of the tour was very clear and detailed, with a very helpful team to support us. Our guide Pema and our driver Sonam were the best duo for this wonderful tour! We discovered all the wonderful treasures of this beautiful country and well preserved culture thanks to them! They made this experience memorable and great fun. Always attending to our needs, being able to see six districts in a very carefree manner with such a great driver, and gaining so much wisdom with Pema as our guide. The quality of service in Bhutan was excellent. What a great opportunity to travel, discover a new culture and be able to give back responsibly through the SDF.

From start to finish, my experience with Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel was wonderful. All of the pre-departure communication was clear, fast, and professional. As a solo female traveler, the agency assigned a female guide and female driver which I appreciated. Now that my trip to Bhutan is complete, I recognize that this team of sisters was the key to the positive experience. Kezang, the guide, has an incredible knowledge of the history and culture of the nation. Plus, she enjoys hiking as much as I do so our daily outings in the pristine mountain forests was always a joy. Tashi, the driver, maneuvered the narrow winding roads with precision letting me know that I was always safe as we traveled from village to village. During my eight night visit, I stayed in five different accommodations and each was comfortable, in good locations (some with amazing views!), and full of welcoming staff. There was so much delicious food! Every meal provided a variety of dishes that included both local fare and western-influenced options. . . I am a budget traveler so this trip was a big splurge, but it was worth every single penny since nine days of feeling awe, being immersed in natural beauty, and being surrounded by kind and respectful people is priceless.

We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. The company takes care of everything, providing you with a hassle-free experience. Our tour guide (Tshering) and driver (Gyeltshen) were incredibly receptive to our needs, and remained flexible if we wanted to alter the itinerary in any way. Thanks again for everything- it was a magical experience!

Wow - what an incredible trip! Bhutan is absolutely beautiful with so much to see, I wish I had booked for a longer trip. My guide Norbu was so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. This tour combined history, culture, food, and daily life so well I feel like I got a slice of everything and learned so much about the country itself. The resorts I stayed at were lovely too. Major shoutouts to Norbu and our driver Nedup for making this an unforgettable experience!

Thank you so much for arranging a truly unforgettable trip for us! Our guide Tashee and driver Edoo were bot absolutely phenomenal! They truly made the entire experience in your glorious country a magnificent one. We will never forget our time in Bhutan. It is a land of true beauty and both Tashee and Edoo helped us to understand and appreciate that. Make sure you request them!

Bhutan is a different experience. My guide Sonam enriched me with the visual language of Buddhist art history and philosophy, and my driver Nedup was also keen to answer all of my questions without tiring out. This has been one of the two best journeys in my life, the other being Mongolia. Some of the hikes were memorable, like the one where we could see a valley from the top and walk down into it. The spiritual aspect was also interesting since it’s hard to doing an English guide who can explain it in other countries. Bhutanese food is too spicy for my liking but Sonam and Nedup took good care of my after I fainted from eating ema datshi. They also made sure I could come back safely when I chose to explore the town at night. This has been the best guided trip ever and it was in large part due to the fun and energy of Sonam and Nedup!

The trip with Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel is amazing and we have absolutely 0 negative comments about it. They went to great lengths to ensure our itinerary was customised to our comfort, and our tour guide and driver, Tashi and Tshewang, gave us the best seven days we could've asked for in Bhutan—caring, attentive to details, and very knowledgeable. The attractions, services, meals, and accommodations are all worthy (or even above) of their value; and we liked everything included in the tour. Mr. Karma and his team are very responsive and ensured we are comfortable with the arrangements and everything throughout the process. We booked our trip during the lower season but still had one of the most amazing experiences ever!

Having the local guides and knowledge was a blessing. They took care of us in every possible way, from the accommodations, food preferences, flexibility with the itinerary and when folks were not feeling well. Norbu was very knowledgeable about the sites, culture and personal experience. The tour operator was very responsive and flexible. Thank you for a magical, mystical and beautiful experience.

This was by far one of the best trips I have ever been on. Normally I prefer to explore places on my own, but doing this trip with a guide and driver felt perfect. From my first contact with Bhutan Acorn Tours until my flight out of Bhutan everything went very smoothly. Bhutan Acorn Tours takes care of everything for you: visa, flights,... They provide you an itinerary, but they are open to you making changes. For exemple: I wanted to see some takins, so they added a visit to the preserve on the first day. The rest of the trip was simply amazing. Friendly and fun guide and driver (almost felt like a road trip with friends), stunning temples and dzongs, breathtaking views, rewarding hikes, delicious food,... Bhutan just has so much to offer, and Bhutan Acorn Tours delivers it in the best way! I will definitely return to Bhutan one day to visit other areas and I will definitely reach out to Bhutan Acorn Tours then.

My trip to Bhutan with Acorn Tours and Travel and guide Norbu Gyeltshen was an amazing experience. Setting up the itinerary was easy with Acorn Tours owner Karma, and all details were well attended to and even on the go changes handled effortlessly, that sometimes happen when trekking. Accommodations provided were solid and comfortable. Norbu is an amazing guide and thoughtful in every way. He is so knowledgeable about Buddhism, the cultural and religious base of Bhutan, and on our hikes knew every flower, tree, bird and animal. A wealth of knowledge and highly experienced for high adventure in Bhutan. I would visit again in a heartbeat! Fantastical, magical, mystical, amazingly kind people, and stunning natural beauty at every turn. Cannot say enough about the high level of service and commitment to our enjoyment by Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel, Karma the owner, and most highly qualified guide in Bhutan, Norbu...and our excellent driver as well Dorgi.

We had a wonderful and memorable tour through Bhutan. The combination of culture, nature, beautiful hikes and all the background about the Bhutanese tradition and religion that our guide (Sonam) gave us, was truly enriching. Our guide and driver took great care of us and made our trip an unforgettable experience.

Excellent, well organised tour with a highly knowledgeable guide and excellent driver, who were both very friendly and service-minded.

I had an incredible experience traveling through Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn Tours. Karma was exceptionally responsive, accommodating my requests to customize the itinerary, hotels, and meals before my arrival. Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned once I got there. The highlight of the tour was connecting with my guide, Kezang, and her sister, Tashi, who was also my driver. They were both so kind and dedicated, working hard to create a truly memorable experience. Their warmth and effort solidified my belief that Bhutan is a place I’ll return to again and again.

This entire experience was unbelievable. I’d waited 16 years to make this happen and it surpassed my expectations in every way. The staff of Bhutan Acorn is the best! Our drivers, the Cook, camp support and our beloved guide, Lobzang, were genuinely kind, attentive, knowledgeable and took care of every detail. The tour was the perfect mix trek, culture and adventure. The scenery was as beautiful as the Bhutanese people, who made us feel like honored guests at the festival. 10/10 or 5/5 on this review. Simply amazing!
